View post →Working with Paul Ryan to design a mural of his Earthscore at 601Artspace was a wonderful experience. The mural was part of the exhibit, The Unspecific Index, curated by Erin Sickler. Here are some drawings of hands I did early in the process: Paul wanted to talk about ‘mirror pathologies’, where narcissism becomes problematic for […]
View post →The end of the holiday season and the start of the new semester is always a busy time for me – makes me miss those long warm summer days when I can go out and do a lot of drawing! But the New York City subway is always a great place to practice both my […]
View post →Another drawing of the WTC Survivor Tree. Most of the ribbons had been tied on by then and now there was a large floral wreath in front of the Survivor Tree. Again, a few very unexpected and heartfelt moments in time. Margaret Hurst

A drawing of Margaret and a little boy that I made one day while we were in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Not sure how the little boy wound up in that position in the drawing: actually he was watching Marg feed the birds. Which you’re not allowed to do at Animal Kingdom, by the way. Posted […]

View post →Another drawing from Washington a few weeks ago. I finally posted the inauguration drawings. Please check them out.—Dominick
View post →This is another drawing of the Callery Pear Tree, or Survivor Tree, at the World Trade Center site. So many yellow ribbons were tied to the Survivor Tree. It was a very personal moment for a small group of people; one I will never forget. Margaret Hurst
View post →Even though the big celebration is tomorrow, today is the official swearing in of Barack Obama for his second term. It’s a happy day for me! Above is a quick drawing I made last week while in Washington DC with our Dalvero class. It was a beautiful foggy morning, and as we walked toward the […]
View post →One week after Hurricane Sandy invaded New York I took my Dalvero class down to the World Trade Center. We arrived just in time to witness a very personal small ceremony of relatives of some victims of the 9/11 attacks. People were tying yellow ribbons around the lower branches of the Callery Pear Tree that […]
View post →I watched the Lance Armstrong / Oprah interview last night and it reminded me of a drawing I made at the Tour de France in 2006…and what I did with it once we learned that Floyd Landis had been stripped of his title. –Despina Georgiadis

Going through my drawings from the last several years, and came across this one from Dublin’s Temple Bar area. Bricks and plants mingling together over the doorway of an Irish pub…this part of Dublin felt almost unreal, like a stage set! It’s the ‘cultural quarter’ of Dublin and still has the old medieval street patterns. […]
View post →I sat in on one of Veronica Lawlor’s classes at Pratt Art Institute and made a couple of drawings of this great model. I used a Japanese black ink brush, which was a Pentel pocket brush pen, and my old fav stand by, Pilot Varsity fountain pen. I love the results of the combination […]

View post →Can’t seem to get away from Prometheus! This is a drawing of a view of him from the top. I was at Rockefeller Center earlier this evening but there was no way I could even get a look at him with all the crowds! Oh well, I shall return! Margaret Hurst
